Making Memories in May!
It seemed like the month of May just flew by because there were so many fun-filled learning activities taking place! We honored our teaching staff and our school nurse as we celebrated National Teacher Appreciation Day and National School Nurse Day and thanked them for all they do to help us learn, grow, and be healthy. The fourth graders visited an historic school house in Farmers’ Retreat and learned how different school is now from what it was a hundred years ago. The second graders traveled to Krohn Conservatory to see the butterfly exhibit. Judge Jeff Sharp visited to speak to the fourth grade students about our local government and how the court system works. Visitors from the Milan Library spoke to the boys and girls during a “Lunch & Learn” about programs they will be offering this summer. Our annual Spring Book Fair gave us a chance to stock up on some good books for summer reading. The high school band visited to play for the fifth graders to encourage them to consider joining band. The Silly Safari brought some interesting animals for a visit. The second graders visited Walhill Farm in Batesville to learn about healthy foods and how our food is grown. Our Girls on the Run team had fun participating in a 5K run in Batesville on May 14 even though it was a cold and rainy day.
The next week brought our annual Making Strides Against Cancer Walk and the Grade 4 Wax Museum, our annual Awards Day, swim races, a visit to the Milan Library by our kindergartners and a fun-filled, farewell party for our fifth graders.
The last week saw more swim races on Monday and finally, on Tuesday, the long-awaited PTO Carnival and Cookout! Mother Nature cooperated and gave us a beautiful, warm, sunny day and we filled every minute of it with fun, friendship, and good-byes as we celebrated the end of a well-rounded, fun-filled year of learning and growing.
Thank you to our students, our staff, our parents, our hard-working PTO and everyone else who helped make May, 2016, a year to remember!
